Chapter 6: Sweetie
After the shocking discovery of who was the bad guy, the PAW Patrol, plus Prince, headed back to the Mission Cruiser to run some tests on the fur and footprints they had found.
Soon, the scan was complete.
"Scan complete. Fur and footprints of seven year old female West Highland White Terrier." said the computer.
Prince was shocked. "There's only one female West Highland White Terrier in Barkingburg" he said. "And her name, is SWEETIE!"
"SWEETIE?" said the pups.
"What a funny name for a bad guy, I mean, girl" said Rubble with a giggle.
Sweetie was a pup who had lived in Barkingburg her whole life. She was never really that nice to anyone, especially the royal family. She was terribly jealous of how much attention people and pups paid to Princess Scarlett and Prince. And now, she was seeking revenge by stealing the future queen and her crown so that she could rule Barkingburg herself.
"The question is now, how do we stop her?" asked Rocky.
"Now, we're going to SPY IT UP!" said Ryder as turned to his pup pad, which was now attached to his wrist, as he dished out the jobs.
"Skye, I need to use your new Cycle to search from the ground and the air".
"Let's take to the sky!" she said with a flip.
"Chase, I need you to use your new Three Wheeler to search the castle grounds with me."
"Chase is on the case." he said, now wearing his own gear that matched everyone else's.
"Zuma, I want you to check out the water areas around the kingdom using your new Hydro Ski"
"Let's dive in" said Zuma.
"Rubble I want you to use your new Mini Miner to follow the map we found and find the princess."
"Rubble on the double" he said.
"Rocky, I need you and your new recycling truck to help Rubble, we may need make something to unpick a lock".
"Green means GO!" said Rocky.
"And Marshall, I need you and your new rescue rover to make sure the princess isn't hurt."
"I'm ready for a ruff ruff rescue" said Marshall.
With that, the PAW Patrol dispatched to find Princess Scarlett, the missing crown, and capture Sweetie. It wasn't long before Rubble found the princess; the poor thing was locked in a dungeon deep underground with very little air. The door was locked with a very strong padlock, but with Rocky's new and bigger recycling truck, he made a key out of one of Skye's old fur pins and Chase's old whistle. Before long, Princess Scarlett was free.
"Oh thank you PAW Patrol pups, I thought I would never get out of there" she said with some coughing.
Concerned, Marshall checked the princess over. She was OK, she had just inhaled a lot of dust and dirt, but, with some water, she was right as reign and ready to fight for Barkingburg.
Meanwhile, Zuma had found nothing in the water areas of the kingdom, whilst Chase was following Sweeties paw print heat signatures and Skye had taken off in her flying cycle to try and spot Sweetie from the air.
All of a sudden, something rushed past Skye in the air with a very loud evil laugh. It was Sweetie. She was flying in her version of Skye's Copter with the royal crown shining on her head.
"You'll never stop me you PAW Patrol losers" she cackled.
Sweetie had rushed past Skye so fast; she became very dizzy, causing her to fall out of her flying cycle and towards the ground. Shocked and scared for the pup he loved, Chase rushed to the rescue by deploying his safety net underneath her to ensure a safe and soft landing.
"Skye, are you OK?" he asked with frantic worry.
"A little dizzy, but fine." Skye replied.
By this time, Ryder and the rest of the PAW Patrol had rushed over to make sure Skye was ok after witnessing the incident.
"How are we gonna stop her Ryder?" asked Zuma.
"Yeah, she knows who we are." said Rubble.
"And what are strengths and weaknesses are" said Marshall.
Ryder knew that this mission was going to be a lot more difficult than he had first thought. Now, this pup had put his own pups in danger.
"OK pups, the first thing we need to do is be very careful" he said with caution.
Whilst Ryder was talking, someone was sneaking up behind one of the pups. They then grabbed them by the neck.
"HELP!" cried the pup before they were gagged.
When Ryder turned around after hearing that sound, his blood ran cold. In front of him was Sweetie with one of his pups in a headlock with a knife being pointed at them. And it wasn't just any PAW Patrol pup, it was his first PAW Patrol pup, it was CHASE.
"Either leave Barkingburg with all your pups and let me rule, or try and stop me and you lose one of your pups." said Sweetie in a cunning and manipulative tone.
"Your choice, RYDER!"
